Orelabrutinib Combined With Induction Therapy Followed by Sequential Monotherapy Maintenance in MCD Subtype Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma

June 25, 2026 updated by: Ou Bai, MD/PHD

Efficacy and Safety of Orelabrutinib Combined With Induction Therapy Followed by Sequential Monotherapy Maintenance in MCD Subtype Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma: a Single-center, Single-arm, Prospective Study

This is a single-center, single-arm, prospective study aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of orelabrutinib combined with an induction regimen followed by monotherapy maintenance in patients with MCD subtype diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The primary endpoint is the 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate; secondary endpoints include overall response rate (ORR), complete response rate (CRR), overall survival (OS), and treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs). The study plans to enroll 66 patients.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Orelabrutinib Combined with chemotherapy followed by monotherapy in ND MCD subtype DLBCL

For MCD subtype DLBCL (including IP-LBCLs) that have undergone two cycles of induction therapy, combine orelabrutinib treatment starting from the third cycle.

For patients with poor prognostic factors (meeting one of the following: Ann Arbor stage III/IV; IPI score 3-5; aaIPI score 2-3; high-intermediate or high-risk group per MSKCC and/or IELSG criteria), continue with two additional cycles of orelabrutinib-combined induction therapy, followed by orelabrutinib monotherapy maintenance for 2 years or until disease progression or intolerable toxicity.

For patients without poor prognostic factors, administer orelabrutinib monotherapy maintenance for 1 year or until disease progression or intolerable toxicity.
